Thaisella chocolata Nice
84 mm     Caldera, northern Chile     6,00 €
Item# 0004231843
FamilyMuricidae
NameThaisella chocolata - Nice , (Duclos, 1832)
Size84 mm, w/o
LocalityCaldera, northern Chile
NoteOne very nice live-taken specimen of Thaisella chocolata. This species is collected by divers in 4-20 m depth off the rocky coasts of northern Chile and southern Perú, and it is an uncommon species. This species is rare in collections as their shells are almost always covered with cirripedian and other epibionts, have scars from living in high energy areas, and are rather very ugly. This particular specimen is in very good condition for the species, and it has very small defects. Most importantly, it preserves its original operculum (which is almost always tossed by the fishermen). This specimen was collected recently by a diver at shallow depth. A very low initial price for a species which is difficult to obtain for collections and in excellent condition for the species, and with its original operculum!.
